RUSSIA: VALDAI: NUCLEAR MISSILE BASE TURNED INTO A MUSEUM
Russian/Nat
It was once the Soviet Union's largest nuclear missile base, capable of destroying major cities in the West.
Then disarmament stripped rocket base number 6, Valdai division, of its deadly weapons and launch silos.
But one silo was preserved and along with the nuclear control centre has been turned into a museum to the Cold War.
It's the height of the Cold War and at the Soviet Union's biggest nuclear weapons base, 460 kilometres north of Moscow, guards have been alerted by an intruder.
Even if trespassers had managed to scale the complicated network of electric fences without coming to harm, they would have probably been shot on sight.
As the core of the country's first strike capability for decades it was a no-go area for everyone except authorised personnel.
Now following nuclear disarmament even foreigners are welcomed to what is believed to be the first Cold War museum located in a former front line position.
Anyone who can afford the two-hundred U-S dollar entrance fee can descend 40 metres underground to the central control room and press a launch button which would have once prompted the start of Armageddon.
Three officers from the elite Rocket regiment would have sat here, round the clock, ready for the order to launch any or all of the 110 Satan missiles located in the vicinity.
Each missile carried ten nuclear warheads targetted at NATO countries.
Major Alexander Finyunov worked here for 26 years.
Now he conducts tours around the base.
He believes the museum is a monument to human achievement.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We have to preserve it because there's not too many places like this in the world. The whole country was working to create this. The labour of millions of people went into this - the whole of the Soviet Union not only Russia - it was the pinnacle of our industrial achievement.
SUPER CAPTION: Major Alexander Finyov, Retired missile unit officer
The base is located far from civilisation, in the middle of a national park.
As the place was being disarmed and the silos destroyed under the provisions of the START II treaty, the park director Alexander Glazov hit upon the idea of setting up the Cold War museum.
In 1994 the Ministry of Defence handed over to Glazov one of the silos and the command centre.
He believes it will not only be a history lesson for future generations but also a deterrent.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
I want it to show how wrong it was to build all this for the high-tech destruction of people. Too much money and effort was spent on destroying each other. Thank God the Cold War has ended and my only wish is that there won't be any more wars - cold or hot.
SUPER CAPTION: Alexander Glazov, Head of Valdai National Park
But the base is rundown - water seeps through its underground tunnels, pipes are rusting and the Ministry of Defence has removed a lot of the top secret equipment.
Although the government gives it financial help it's not enough to restore the base to its former glory.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
It's very expensive to maintain, it uses a lot of energy. This museum has to be treated the way you treat the Hermitage, the Tretyakov and the Russian Museum. There they have art but here we have technical art.
SUPER CAPTION: Alexander Glazov, Head of Valdai National Park
Few Russians have visited this hands-on museum and the number of foreign tourists has so far been negligable.
What was once a top military secret in the Soviet Union is now one of Russia's best kept tourist secrets.
Few people outside of the National Park are aware of the base and without the necessary funding to promote it, the museum, like the Cold War, will be relegated to the pages of history.

Russia: Pistol used to execute Nicholas II exhibited in Moscow museum
A Colt pistol with which the last Tsar of the Russian Empire, Nicholas II, was killed in 1917 was showcased at the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia, in Moscow, on Tuesday.
Nikita Anikin, academic secretary at State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia (Russian): We have exhibited a Colt pistol that belonged to Mikhail Medvedev, one of the participants in the assassination of the Tsar family. This is indeed a very tragic episode. However, Medvedev handed over the gun to the Soviet Museum of Revolution and felt no confusion when describing all the details of the assassination in the letter he attached to the pistol.
Vladimir Medinskiy, Russian Minister of Culture (Russian): Today is the 100th anniversary since the day Moscow authorities decided to open the Revolution Museum. I would like to wish that the museum and all of us Moscow authorities would never have a reason for such actions in the future and would never create museums of revolution.

Владимир Татлин ретроспективный
Excerpt from the press release:
Press release:
This year the Museum Tinguely in Basel is dedicating its large summer exhibition to one of the most important figures of the Russian avant-garde: Vladimir Tatlin (1885--1953). It is now almost twenty years since the last comprehen-sive retrospective to be devoted to this radically innovative artist. The presented works will include early paintings, counter-reliefs that reach out into the surrounding space, reconstructions of his revolutionary tower, and the flying machine Letatlin. The exhibition is rounded off with examples of his work for the theatre. The œuvre of this outstanding artist from the watershed period at the beginning of the twentieth century will be represented in over one hundred masterpieces, mostly on loan from major collections in Moscow and St Petersburg.
Vladimir Tatlin began his career as a seaman. Until 1913 his artistic activities were limited exclusively to painting and drawing. Interested in the traditional fields of icon-painting and folk art, he later transferred his attention to the most modern avant-garde trends in Russia and Western Europe, more precisely Paris. His entire later work is founded on painting. The exhibition will show a comprehensive selection of his early paintings with their bold expanses of colour, rhythmic curves, and striking use of dark and light outlines. In these eye-catching works Tatlin achieved a highly original synthesis of the Russian tradition and the French avant-garde.

Golden Gate museum, Vladimir, Russia - Zolotye Vorota, Золотые ворота
Golden Gate museum, Vladimir, Russia - August 6, 2014
The Golden Gate of Vladimir (Russian: Zolotye Vorota, Золотые ворота), constructed between 1158 and 1164, is the only (albeit partially) preserved ancient Russian city gate. A museum inside focuses on the history of the Mongol invasion of Russia in the 13th century.
The Golden Gates existed in the holiest cities of Eastern Orthodoxy: Jerusalem, Constantinople, and Kiev. On making Vladimir his capital, Andrew the Pious aspired to emulate these structures, commissioning a lofty tower over the city's main gate to be erected in limestone and lined with golden plaques. According to ancient Russian chronicles, the masons were invited from Friedrich Barbarossa. The main arch used to stand 85 meters tall. The structure was topped with a barbican church dedicated to the Deposition of the Virgin's Robe and symbolizing the Theotokos's protection of Andrew's capital.
The gate survived the Mongol destruction of Vladimir in 1237. By the late 18th century, however, the structure had so deteriorated that Catherine the Great was afraid to pass through the arch for fear of its tumbling down. In 1779, she ordered detailed measurements and drawings of the monument to be executed. In 1795, after many discussions, the vaults and barbican church were demolished. Two flanking round towers were constructed in order to reinforce the structure, and artisans then reconstructed the barbican, following the drawings made in 1779.
Золотые ворота — выдающийся памятник древнерусской архитектуры, расположенный в городе Владимире. Памятник Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО. Построены в 1164 году при владимирском князе Андрее Боголюбском. Помимо оборонных целей ворота имели также и триумфальный характер. Они оформляли парадный вход в самую богатую княжеско-боярскую часть города.
Вероятнее всего, Золотые ворота были построены княжескими мастерами. Об этом, в частности, свидетельствует княжеский знак, оставленный строителем на одном из белокаменных блоков. Постройка сложена в технике полубутовой кладки, широко распространившейся во владимиро-суздальском зодчестве. Строгие пропорции проездной арки, перекрытой мощным полуциркульным сводом, и особое изящество небольшой церкви наверху придавали сооружению величественный характер, хорошо соответствующий его назначению. Дата закладки ворот относится к 1158 году, окончание строительства — 26 апреля 1164 года, когда была освящена надвратная Ризположенская церковь.
Во время правления Андрея Боголюбского город опоясывался протяжённым валом и имел семь входных ворот (кроме Золотых, это Медные, Иринины или же Оринины, Серебряные, Ивановские, Торговые и Волжские). До наших дней дошли лишь Золотые ворота.
Vladimir Lenin's Mausoleum: should we finally move his body from it?
Vladimir Lenin’s body has been lying in his Mausoleum – or tomb – for 95 years now. But polls say that Russians want him gone from the Red Square. A centenary mummy should be rested at peace where they belong – in a cemetery. But not so fast! In this video, I will tell you why Soviet authorities kept Lenin's body, how they did it (and how North Korea is connected) and dive into a world of confusing Russian laws preventing his relocation.

Tsar Events' RUSSIA SURVIVAL GUIDE with Maya Krivchenia: Russian museums. St. Petersburg - GRAND DUKE VLADIMIR PALACE #RussiaSurvivalGuide
Grand Duke Vladimir Palace was the last imperial palace to be constructed in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. It was designed by a team of architects (Vasily Kenel, Aleksandr Rezanov, Andrei Huhn, Ieronim Kitner, Vladimir Shreter) for Alexander II's son, Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia. Construction work lasted from 1867 to 1872.
Like the Winter Palace and the Marble Palace, the Vladimir Palace fronts Palace Embankment; water frontage on the Neva was extremely prized by the Russian aristocracy. The façade, richly ornamented with struccorustication, was patterned after Leon Battista Alberti's palazzi in Florence. The main porch is built of Brenen sandstone and adorned with griffins, coats-of-arms, and cast-iron lanterns. Other details are cast in portland cement.
The palace and its outbuildings contain some 36 rooms, all decorated in disparate historic styles.
Dinner can be served in Oак Hall (160 pax), Small Banqueting Hall (40pax) or White Hall (120 pax).
Table settings can be provided in various colors and motives depending on if providing a classical evening / seating or folkloristic themes and table settings with Russian Samovars and Russian Scarf's instead of table cloth. The Cocktail can be arranged at the entrance to the Main Room or in the Staircase.
